He said, "[E]ven if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christians from the United States of America, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools?" Obama asked. "Would it be James Dobson's or Al Sharpton's? Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is OK and that eating shellfish is an abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount — a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application. But before we get carried away, let's read our Bibles. Folks haven't been reading their Bibles." He probably took this word for word from a leftist "christians are so dumb" site. If he thought this up himself, that's even worse. Every word displays a total and complete ignorance of the very basis of Christianity. If the man isn't ignorant, then he is even worse, a willful liar, trying to pass himself off as a Christian to gain a political office. Anyone who hasn't gotten past kindergarten theology shouldn't try to use it in a speech. Despite the opinions of some of our posters, this passage of Obama's marks him as far more idiotic than Sarah Palin could ever be. She could lose half her brain in an accident and still be smarter.

The bible does say that stuff. He's right. And yes, people should read their bibles more. I've personally found that the majority of Christians wanting to condemn people for not being like them are often people who act like they're allergic to their bible.

Now, Sunday School teachers have sometimes tried to teach what they think that stuff actually meant. The stoning one's child part, it's really good to get some Jewish input because they often can explain why the OT supposedly isn't as bad as it sounds.

Parroting one line about Jesus being the bridge does not mean he's accepted Christ. In fact, he goes on to say that religion comes with a heft dose of doubt. Lanie, if you have doubt, you don't have Christ.

Obama says that he determines what is sin, and what is not, not that God's values are his values.

From his own mouth, he makes it clear that his christianity is for show only, not from his heart. If you don't understand that, then you need to do some more study on basic theology. You've missed most of it...

No, Obama did NOT say that and I explained why in the past two posts. Some of you all are just wanting to use something, ANYTHING to make a Democratic politician out as not being a Christian. To be brutally honest, some Republicans (not all or hopefully even most of them) are coming off to me as the Pharasees as portrayed in the New Testament. Now, some Jews say they got a bum rap, but that's not the point. The point is the Pharasees are people who according to the NT think they're the only ones going to be with God. They want everybody else snubbed. They're very elitist. They make it clear that they want nobody else to be a part of their club. They're mad at Jesus for daring to include others and occasionally call them hypocrtes. I don't believe this represents most Republican Christians, but I honestly think it represents some of them (mostly the most vocal politicians and the so called religious right).

I think you, the reverand, and some others are nitpicking at every little word to make a point that is NOT there.

I guess you don't want to hear the other six reasons then? God's word isn't to be taken lightly and should be handled with reverence and great care rather than mocked as Mr. Obama has done in the video you agree with.

At least once every human should have to run for his life, to teach him that milk does not come from supermarkets, that safety does not come from policemen, that news is not something that happens to other people. ~ Robert Heinlein

Texas has more than 13.2 million registered voters - so over 3,000,000 are that ignorant?

At Coretta Scott King's funeral in early 2006, Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert Kennedy, leaned over to him and whispered, "The torch is being passed to you." "A chill went up my spine," Obama told an aide. (Newsweek)

Tell me, Bridge, what about his "church" is Christian?
Rabid hate of white people? Disdain for the country?
He only went there for 20 years.

I am suggesting the possibility that GotNews.com might be a hoax or troll site making @#$% up. I based that comment on the PJMedia article I linked, whose description and quotes from the killer's FB...
